Lukas updated NETBEANS-1850:
----------------------------
Description:
*The issue*
This issue concerns macOS only.
The option key (also known as ⌥ or the alt-key) is no longer recognised by
Netbeans after opening or closing a curly or squared bracket, i.e. after typing
*{* or *[* as well as *]* or *}*.
Netbeans automatically closes brackets by default. However, even with this
feature disabled, the option-key still stops working after pressing one of
these keys.
The option-key is still available to open an additional bracket. However, any
additional functionality is lost.
After re-opening Netbeans, the program does recognise the option key again.
This, however, only stays until a new bracket is opened.
*Steps to reproduce the issue*
Make sure you are using Netbeans later than 8.2 on macOS.
# Open any project. Note the option-key is working, e.g. by navigating your
code by pressing the option key and the left and right arrows at the same time.
** This can be confirmed by opening the keymap settings (Preferences, Keymap)
and clicking on "in shortcuts".
** After pressing the option key in this field, the symbol of the key is
displayed as such.
** This shows the option key is perfectly recognised by Netbeans.
# Type a *{* or *[* at any position in your project.
# Try using the option (alt)-key again in Netbeans. You will notice the key
seems broken.
** This can be confirmed by opening the keymap settings (Preferences, Keymap)
and clicking on "in shortcuts".
** When pressing the option key in this field, the field stays blank.
** This shows the option key is no longer recognised by Netbeans.
# Re-open netbeans. Then, press to use alt-key and note that it works again.
*About the issue*
The issue started appearing in Netbeans 9 and is still present in Netbeans 10.
It is not present in Netbeans 8.2.
